Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:05Dan Fleyshman:Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a special edition of the Money Mondays podcast where we cover three core topics, how to make money and invest money, how to give away to charity. We rarely ever bring a guest back, but you're going to see this guest multiple times throughout the year. If I have to travel to him, fly to him, drive to him, walk to him, send him a carrier pigeon, I'm going to get this guy on the episode because he covers all three core topics so well. He's lived a lot of lives. He's trained over 14 ,000 men, 70 ,000 coming through the program in total. The numbers are mind-blowing of what he's done to help change lives for marriages, households, communities, and offices.
0:39Dan Fleyshman:By helping those men, what happens is the butterfly effect. We're gonna dive right into that. As you guys know, there's no advertisements here. I do work with High Level because I actually use them. I do work with Fanbases because I actually use them, but there's no like fancy affiliate codes. I just love Fanbases and High Level because I actually use them. As you guys know also, this podcast is ranked really, really high because of you. We have a 93 % listen through rate because this episode will be less than 40 minutes since the average workout is 45 minutes. The average commute to work is 45 minutes.
1:06Dan Fleyshman:This episode will be under 40 minutes for your listening pleasure. So without further ado, Mr. Garrett J. White, give him the quick two minute bio so we get straight to the money. Beautiful. So I'm the founder of Wake Up Warrior and 15 years ago, I started down a path to guide men to find predictable power. I was an entrepreneur before that 25 years and had fallen apart built my empire lost my empire found myself in an affair drugs addiction sedation and chaos and i didn't have a map i didn't know how to rebuild my life so i created a game i created a system called the warrior's way and for the past 15 years we've actually crossed now 90 000 clients 90 000 in wake up warrior uh not in active programs but guys in app subscriptions guys using our content etc but that became the birthing place of a system And that system has worked.
1:53It started trying to help me. How do I be a great husband, a great father, connected to God, physically fit and be rich at the same time that seemed impossible. And we've proven that it is possible. And so we're sitting here to man arena tour. All of this was like part of what we put together, you and I, to help more men come to understand this possibility.
2:13Dan Fleyshman:Okay. There's a lot to unpack there. But one of the first questions I actually have for you is why do you think it's hard for men to talk about money in their households wow so well you're gonna have two different levels of hard right so you've got hard when you don't have any yep and then you've got hard i should say three you haven't when you don't have any it's hard because scarcity is like the dominating energy and when scarcity is there the woman feels unstable unsafe insecure which means sexual connection goes down communication becomes tough and hard to have and you have second phase which when you're building something and it's working and you're obsessed and your business becomes your mistress and your, your set, your side piece.
2:51And that's like the game and you're obsessed with building and then you face chaos and destruction. And even though it goes back into that. Exactly. So now the money's going into the company and then the third level is hard. I think it's probably the hardest, which is when you actually have money because you start to ask interesting questions. And the question a lot of guys I've been asking in the last couple of years is, okay, so I built this thing. Does this woman actually want me or does she just like the money in the world that I've created? And if I went back to zero, would she stay? This is a hard question.
3:31I've asked that question myself. I've been married to my wife for 23 years. We've been together for 25, five kids. And I've asked that question myself. and there's a part of me that's like i'd like to believe she would but i don't know how long she could endure like the collapse so i think the money conversation is a very difficult conversation for people to have but i think it gets even more complicated when dealing with the dynamics of
3:56Dan Fleyshman:your woman i think that danielle white stays i i would my soul believes she would stay i think she rolls up her sleeves and fucking goes to war with you i would like to believe this i my soul believes this my mind she might race you to become the next millionaire again to run it back i might get competitive in the household okay i mean you guys 23 years i mean you've been through every roller coaster and that's the definition is what i call ride or die yeah okay on the how to make money side a lot of times guys get to 60 grand a year 80 grand a year 100 grand a year and they're just becoming complacent with life and they're just kind of groundhog day, repeating everything.
4:36Dan Fleyshman:What do you think holds them back from taking the next step to go to 120, 150, 180 and really go to maximize their potential? Regardless of the level of the money. I think this happens. This happens with guys that we run with too. They're making 10 million, 20 million a year. There's a piece of you that becomes identified. So you set this target, you become this thing and your identity becomes this thing. And that money provides a lifestyle at a certain level that possibly might be bigger than what you ever experienced before. And as you settle into that, your mind becomes connected to, this is who I am.
5:09This is what I do. Then you listen to a show or somebody follows you on social media or connects with you or connects with anyone that you run with. And you're like, holy shit, there's something bigger. So the transition is so hard as a fact that you have to break who you are to go to that next place. So if I'm making 80 and I'm trying to go to 250, the guy at 250 does not see the world the same as the guy at 80 he drives different beliefs are different stories are different his commitment's different no different from 250 to 500 to 500 to 2 million 2 million to 10 million it's like the place i'm at right now like there's just you have to break and it's painful like it hurts like it physically it hurts your nervous system freaks the fuck out and thinks what am i doing because you have to let go of patterns that got you there right you see this with employees who have been employees for 15 20 years working for other people and then they finally make the launch to do their own thing and they realize real quick holy shit i might not be as qualified sure and i might have talked too much shit about the people i worked for yep then i imagine because all of a sudden the weight of it is there so it's heavy i think the identity shift is the most painful piece so guy starts to make more money yeah
6:27Dan Fleyshman:Starts to get some changes. Starts to get a little fit in his life. Goes from 60 to 80, 120. His house actually has a good exit, brings some new valuation. Man makes$400 ,000 selling one of the houses. Now he's got it, right? He's got it. Made an extra half a million this year. What changes in the household? Why do you think that they change with their wife or their children or their lifestyle? Because now they got some money. Well, I am in the world of man and I will tell you exactly what happens. When a man begins to make more money, he stops tolerating things around him now what i mean by that is things that you tolerated when you're making a hundred thousand a year you won't tolerate at a million you just won't tolerate it why because the man that you were at 100 is different than the guy at 200 and different the guy at a million well that doesn't just apply to business strategy and partnerships things you would tolerate in the past things i would tolerate five years ago in a business partnership i would never fucking tolerate today things i would tolerate in my marriage 10 years ago i wouldn't tolerate today so the challenge becomes if the marriage is not super stable and there's not great communication and a guy makes a bunch more money he does this silly thing he looks at his wife down at her oh now she the funny part is she might have pulled him along for 10 years while he was fucking off and trying to figure himself out and within six months to a year all of a sudden he makes money and he forgets all of the history that this woman had to go through to be with that man right and the dude leaves there was an example of this with i went out with one of my guys and his girlfriend and i was like so what's your story and she's like my husband and i were married i was like a sure divorce she said yep we were married for 13 years she said i was pregnant twice i put him through medical school i was working two jobs had two babies she's a beautiful woman gypsum girl and my guy's like amazing everyone marries 52 and they're together probably they'll probably stay together and i go so what happened she's like this motherfucker finally gets done with medical school goes through all of his time he's doing this for a decade makes 400 000 as a doctor his first year and starts fucking one of the nurses and then tells me i want a divorce she's like i i built you i built you i funded you i created swimming i drug your ass to the finish line within 12 months it's like nine months wow and she would like the pain and dude i've seen this happen with guys over and over that's why guys if they come in our program to warrior and they're not married i'm like don't don't plan on that one last him because the level you're going to rise with us if she doesn't rise with you you're going to be done marriage is different you got kids you got marriage there's contracts and commitments but dude you and i have seen this happen we've seen this happen not once we've seen this happen you and i both we know this this is happening right now to dudes that i know all over the country there was another guy here in town like in miami he called me like about a year ago and I've met him we're in a yacht thing and he was just struggling and he was like trying to put some stuff together and trying to figure some things out and then he got and I told him listen man here's what's gonna happen predictably okay you got some momentum the things that happen you're gonna pop you're gonna get some money this year like it's very clear that you have the pieces dialed in after five or six years of this I was like you're also going on the fitness path and let me tell you what's gonna happen you're gonna pop and get the money you're gonna get the fitness and if you're not careful this marriage you're in right now if you don't keep her part of the problem it's gonna change so this guy ends up doing exactly what so I got a call from him like a couple months ago he's not a client he's just a dude here in Miami I knew he's like how do we have my wife back oh interesting I was like well give me the narrative well dude he ran the Miami circuit oh you know exactly what I'm talking about you run the Miami circuit so I found out and I'm like you got fit and you got rich and you forgot who you were yep like this in miami has become like it's a thing if i mean because of what i do i just get lots of calls and three-way texts from people hey can you talk to this guy sure happy to talk to him and over and over same pattern they forget i don't know it's it's weird i've gone through it i've gone through it myself like about four or five years ago we moved in a 28 million dollar house and we had all the cars and we had all the stuff and i remember even having the feeling about my wife she better level the fuck up and you better you better get your shit together woman i remember having these thoughts it was even fights and arguments we'd have so i was forgetting so i can see why guys do it and why it's so hard to talk about it all right put on the business hat this time pop quiz personal trainer in miami they only have four or five clients they want to get a bunch more clients they want to raise their rates and really build their personal training business what would you say to that guy well listen social media is bombarded with every fit jack dude on the planet so you got competition like crazy on social media i'm not saying don't post i'm not saying don't share your world not do your thing but there's this unspoken power that comes with delivering case studies and getting referrals from those case studies like and tapping into networks my trainer carter montgomery carter been training for two and a half years his company went from like 200 ,000 a year to like a million a year.
11:55And it wasn't because of his social media campaigns. It's because he was plugged in and he trained a guy like me. And when he trained a guy like me, I sent him 150 dudes because dudes watch the results in me and they're like, who's your guy? So I think right now the advantage for particularly personal trainers, anyone's doing hands on, dude, I go to the gym and I see the trainers. The trainers are all over the clients. They're like, my wife's trainer's all over her like they're doing you're so intimate with this person every day getting results for them is number one and number two asking for referrals ask them to tell people about you yes and in reality don't pay them because once you pay them referral fees you're gonna mess it all up you will fuck it all up because people get weird about this i i kind of want to refer dan but getting paid now i don't have a problem with it but most people do sure You know, the book Drive talks about that.
12:47Once you start compensating people for referrals, most people will stop referring. If I got paid every time I told you to go see a cool movie, it changes it. It's not that you shouldn't get paid. So I think the referral game and actually getting results, like case studies, not testimonies. You're awesome, trainer. I love you. No. Your dude was here. Now look at him. Your woman was here. Now look at her. These are the case studies. And then you glorify it. We do in our salons too, where women come and get the NBR hair. And they go from normal hair to like Victoria's Secret model hair. And then we shake the photos in a way for them that lets them feel pride and excitement about being the girl on the photo.
13:28But then we have them post and tag and share. And that brings more clients into the salon too. Case study. Before, after, ask for referrals.
13:37Dan Fleyshman:Same trainer. He does it. He listens to Garrett White. Goes from, you know, have four or five clients to 30 clients crushing it. what does his girlfriend do as this guy levels up he's way busier he doesn't respond to texts anymore how do they keep the dynamic so they can keep the relationship going well number one being a trainer and training women is always going to be a situation so i've seen i've seen two kinds of trainers guys that are very flirtatious with all their clients and sleep with some of them and there's guys that are very committed to their girl and they're not that way and they just train Like no matter how busy you get, there has to be a deliberate energy.
14:14Number one, I'm focused on this woman. If my energy is fractured and shattered and going all to every woman I see in train or every woman at the gym, trouble. Second piece is once I've collapsed that energy and I focused it, I'm saying, okay, I have to be as deliberate with my woman as I am with my clients. If I want case study results from my client, I have to produce a nutrition plan. I have to be there for the training protocol. I have to be there for training them. On top of this, what else do I have to do? I have to be as deliberate with my partner. But most of us don't think that. I never thought that.
14:45I didn't think that for 15, 18 years. I would operate one way in business and then I'd look at my relationship and go, nothing, I got nothing. Like there was no plan. There was no plan date nights. There was no plan trips. There was no plan. But I had all the plan going in business. But then when it came to the relationship, no one ever told me I should have a plan. So if you executed the macro plan for your client, the same way you executed the date night plan with your girl, you'd be amazed at what happens.
15:14Dan Fleyshman:All right, let's go to the investing side of things. So that guy starts to make money. He actually goes from up to$300K to a million dollars. Just starts crushing it, raises his rates, gets other trainers underneath him. He's like, man, making commission off of them, overrides. Million dollars. Investing. There's so many options. Real estate, stock market, Bitcoin, cash flow in businesses. How the heck can someone figure out what they want to invest into? so i come from a little interesting place with this so i believe the first place a man should invest is himself once he's invests himself invest in his company so if i have a hundred thousand dollars where do i have a better shot of getting a high positive r &a on that i could put it into someone else's company i could buy stocks i could put it into a real estate property and get cash flow i could invest in a software or startup i could do a lot of things but the one thing that will always give you the highest rate of return is you and your own company so i watched and i did this i would build my cash in the beginning my first round of companies from 2000 2008 i want to feel like an investor yeah so i remember writing checks for 600 000 having no fucking clue what i was doing and thinking i'm an investor i had you remember the checks the the big fucking open up the book long check the long one and i would write the check i remember exactly 600 000 check i had no idea where that money was really gonna go but i wanted to feel like an investor Now, on my floor, I had 100 plus guys on my sales floor.
16:36I have this company that's crushing. I didn't ever look at that as an investment. I always looked at, I had to get somebody else's company money versus my money to my company. Third place is cash vaults, which is storing cash. And then once I've done those things, then the only time I invest is in something that I have an impact on. Can my human life value impact it? Example, they started building surf parks. I was deep into surfing for five years. They wanted me to invest in one of the surf parks. I said that makes sense I love surfing I love surf parks I have a passion for this yeah and then I said what involvement can I have like silent investor I was like not gonna play yeah they're like why I said if my human life value can't affect the marketing affect the sales affect the park affect the game if you want me part of the team yeah I'll invest my time my energy and my money but if I can't be involved I'm not I'm not saying that's not how professional guys that do that and know how to invest in other companies yes guys that know real estate grant card owns a mentor and they're like you should do this you should do this and i'm like ah it's not my thing it might be my thing i'm turning 50 this year i'm sure real estate will become my thing sure it just hasn't been my thing so i think what particularly guys doing a million better systems better teams better process build the company make the investment there could you put us somewhere else you could you definitely could so on the investing into yourself side of
18:00Dan Fleyshman:things let's talk about live events like man in the arena tour warrior program masterminds and as high as up to one-on-one coaching let's walk through the four so man the arena tour i you've heard me say this before cheap affordable holy shit right cheap we actually made it super cheap to go to man the arena it's 100 bucks 500 bucks 300 bucks to go to it for people you know thousands of men to come into the room affordable is going to you know mastermind groups where it's 5k 10k 25k in that range and the holy shit is when he gets a 50k to 100k for one-on-one coaching with guys like us or people that they look up to that can really move the needle for them walk us through those multiple layers um i think well number one you you should be involved at all in all three all three levels are amazing like we're going to dr joe dispenza there's like thousands of people at this event it's a couple thousand dollars for the ticket my wife wants to go that's an experience right truly i'd like my wife to work directly with joe dispenza so i always try to circumvent the thing and go to the top thing like that's what i did with 10x i'm like i want to work with grant and brandon dawson how do i do that uh two million dollars i'm like okay that makes sense and then i get all the rest yes for sure but for a lot of us too now large virtual or large in person is a great place to start because you get a taste for what something's about you're also going to be around a ton of people the step up from that though is implementation so you're not going to get much implementation get information experience in these then it comes to am i got i like the information can i implement the information okay well you're not going to pull that off in a big arena then you're gonna have to go to a smaller environment where it's more customized more intimate and you can actually get to know the people that's where masterminds come to play then you get top producing people who move fast who are at the large event experience and they think just like you and i what is the fastest path for me to get this done i could do it by myself i'm gonna fuck a bunch of things up for sure i could do this in a large group but i won't get personal attention that i want.
19:49I could do this in the mastermind, which works, but it's still kind of diluted and powerful, but I want the guy. I like the group. I want the guy. And so now there's a commitment saying, if I went to the guy, maybe it is a hundred thousand, maybe it's 500 ,000, whatever it is, but does that increase my speed, collapse my mistakes and give me the result that I want faster? So it depends. You'll see people go all the way up through them. Start here, go to the mastermind come to 101 and then you got some people who will just experience first one and go yeah i'm just gonna go there right to the top and that's kind of become my mode a lot in the last like five eight years like if i want to if i want to be like you i go to 100 million mastermind but if i really want the heat i'll come straight with you i'm gonna be on your phone dealing with you directly because the counsel you can give me in a 30 minute conversation i might not be able to gleam in two or three masterminds i might get it but i for sure get it if i'm with you that was gonna be with brandon to go to a 10x event or i could sit in a one-on-one conversation with brandon for an hour right or grant and they just shatter my frames in like 20 minutes and they're like okay are we done i'm like yeah i'm fucking done dude thank you knuckle i'm out which i might have taken me six months to get that breakthrough versus one conversation
21:13Dan Fleyshman:so there's three mistakes that are made at the low low level ticket price mastermind price and one-on-one coaching the low level ticket price when you're going to man in the arena tour aspire tour large format events a lot of our 10x etc what happens is you're on your phone during those eight hours and you're missing so much because you're texting instagramming doing the things during eight hours while gary v's on stage grant cardone's on stage and garrett white's on stage and like you're missing out on the shark tank and all these people that you paid to go there you traveled to go there and you're messing around on your phone please when you're at these large format events focus on the stage focus on what's happening there and network during the breaks with everyone that's there the medium side the mastermind size where you're paying 5k 10k 25k etc you are not networking enough you should know everyone inside of that room not just for themselves they might have other people in their ecosystem you're like oh that's a real estate person i don't care that lady owns seven gyms, who cares?
22:09Dan Fleyshman:She might know some interesting people that are useful for you. So network with everyone inside the mastermind. On the one-on-one coaching side, a closed mouth doesn't get fed. If you do not ask questions, and preferably have your questions done in advance so that you come to the phone call and you're not just like, so I'm doing this and I'm doing this, I'm doing this. Come there with five or 10 questions for your 30 minutes or your hour one-on-one coaching session and have that thing prepared. Think about it for days in advance. And I promise you, your one-on-one coaching will become that much more efficient.
22:36What's wild to me is to watch, I've had men wire me$500 ,000 in one-on-one programs and get into problems and hide.
22:48Dan Fleyshman:Oh my gosh. It's the weirdest shit ever. Dudes will invest hundreds of thousands of dollars for help when and if things start getting shaky. Then they get shaky and dudes retreat. street i had one client a couple years ago and he wouldn't respond he wouldn't my team's calling him i'm calling him i'm sending videos and my bro what the fuck is going on finally get a hold of him through his girlfriend i'm like what where the hell is he right she's like dude he's collapsing i was like no shit he's collapsing i know he's collapsing because he went go start protocol zero on me for two months where's he at finally calls me up finally get on the phone and he's like rex and i'm like what the fuck right like the reason i came into your world was so what the fuck doesn't happen and you avoided me why he's like i just felt fucking horrible and all the stories and i said well dude you're coming to me now i was your fire insurance the house is burned down exactly like there's smoking ashes now he's like what do i do i was like we rebuild like i'm gonna speak to you directly you're fucked it doesn't mean you're fucked forever sure but you're fucked right now and you didn't have to be fucked that's why i came in your world six months ago we knew you were going into a season but you chose the crazy part of masterminds i used to do this when i first was the math my first masterminds was bernard bachard i felt so insecure that when i went to the mastermind i didn't even know how to get help right i was so scared so during breaks instead of talking to anybody hide in the corner hide in my room right and then we'll come down for a session not realizing the power of the mastermind is exactly what you're talking about the breaks it's yeah it's dan sharing and giving wisdom that's awesome but the real power of the mastermind is exactly what you said you don't you're not just looking at individuals each one of these individuals in that group have networks right you are one conversation away from an explosion in your business because you connected with somebody and the mindset you have is well what can i get from you that was my mindset first it was hide then it was what can i get from people what are my angles then it became hey what's up how are you and i want to know about you right with no agenda no like i need some shit from you which you're you're elite at this you're like the highest level version i've ever met my life at this but then it's like okay well if i come to 100 million dollar mastermind or i come to a mastermind of mandarina what you can see are the people what you can't see is the ripple yes of these networks i mean somebody comes into my world dude i'm networked to shit right so are you our networks come together and collide with all the networks around dude there's not a problem you cannot solve in the ripple somebody has a connection to someone that you don't know about with a strategy you can't consider with a possibility you've never conceived right but you're over here hiding here let me give you 25 000 come to the mastermind 100 000 and then or worse you start thinking the whole time i wish i could just talk to dan or garrett you're like i I get that, but the money is right in front of you.
25:47And if you're not an asshole and you just show up and be authentically you, some people like you, some people won't, but the ones that do, I mean, I still have people. We did a hundred million dollar mastermind in my backyard. Just that there are people I still connect with. Like Josh Kirk, all these guys I still connect with. We just connect. That's it. Oh, I wouldn't have met them if you hadn't brought them to my backyard. They weren't going to come to my backyard without you. hey guys come to my backyard so even if not like my team even i had some people ask me why why are you why are you why are you putting this on i was like because i'm going to business with dan he needed help that's it i got a house it's a cool backyard let's fucking throw some shit over the pool let's build a thing for him and and go well the value to me was just getting to meet all these cool people and value to you was the place to do it yeah and also was helping us in the beginning stages what we were building with man the arena yeah third and final chapter
26:43Dan Fleyshman:charity why is it important for the wives and children of the man hopefully running that household for them to see him involved in some charity and potentially hopefully involving the kids and wife in that charity yes your children are watching always they watch your habits they your patterns my kids know my morning routine they know dad's praying dad's in the bible dad's stacking i do my they know i work out they know my wife and i cold plunge they see everything but what most guys don't realize is your kids are watching your patterns with money they're watching what you do so my kids i like i believe in a tithe but i don't believe in a tithe to a church so i tithe differently which is that's one way of charity for me which is there's a percent of my money that I fully plan on just giving people.
27:33And so I make sure my kids see it. So when we're supporting somebody's child to go through rehab and I'm funding it for 90 days to six months, I want them in the conversation of it. We did this with one of their swim instructors. He was coming to the house. He gets to do swimming lessons for younger kids. And his son was in a horrible place and suicidal. And he didn't have the cash to take care of it. And so we sat with him with my kids and had him share the situation with his son. I said, I got you. And they got to watch this grown man break down in tears they got to see the process and experience of it the thing i still struggle with is my kids have been raising so much abundance that they're quick to tip everybody but they don't have i'm working now on trying to help them understand because the whole world they're in is kind of this abundant bubble they're used to pushing buttons and shit just happens they push a button and shit shows up
28:28Dan Fleyshman:Food deliveries, DoorDash, Ubers. Everything. Everything. Like my kids for the first time like a year and a half ago, we took them to a regal theater to see a movie. But they've always gone to theaters with the buttons and the servers and the lay you down and the blankets and the people coddling over you. And my little ones were like totally confused. They're like, Dad, Dad. How do we get food? Dad, where's the button? Right. There's no button. Dad, my chair doesn't go back. My chair doesn't lean back. Why is it sitting like this? Baby, that's how it is. What do you mean? so I'm in a season now I'll be 50 this year where I've become very aware of the fact that abundance can be a curse if there's attachment to the giving so now we moved into this chapter this year with very deliberate about creating experiences for my kids to see how life is outside of the bubble but also to have them be in a place of giving so anytime we're tipping anyone or I'll tip valet I'll have the kids go do it I love that take the cash go give them a tip and then they're learning on the receipts what percentages are here in Miami.
29:31Everything's like 20 % guaranteed, 18%, 20, whatever. Well, how much should we give them? I was like, well, let's figure it out. Well, why are we giving them so much? Who is that? That's a lady. No, that's a mom. Do you know she's married? Is she a single mom? This is how she pays for food. This is how she lives. Daddy goes to work. This is her going to work. So you're on a different level with it, with foundations and all the stuff to do a toy drive which is like very inspiring like i watch your passion with it and your obsession with it obsessed like it's an obsession like what drives
30:04Dan Fleyshman:you to do that for you i still remember the one toy that i got it was a little hulk hogan that you put your thumb in the back yeah like i still remember that like we just didn't have any money when i was a kid and so i remember if i had that emotion to that what would happen if i gave kids five toys each that don't have money and the relief for the parents and so when we did our first one 12 years ago I just watched like the parents relief when they would walk in and they've got three kids and the kids are getting five toys each that's 15 toys that's like hundreds of dollars oh my god right that's a big deal and so then it just kept compounding from eight volunteers to 20 volunteers to now stadiums and arenas so but it started from like I just saw the the things that would happen to a child and things that would happen to the parent as well we had during the Christmas season we had a gentleman who's connected to my kids who supports him and coaches him and he probably made the hardest call a man could ever make it's like two days before Christmas and he calls me we're close but not real close and breaking down in tears he's like my daughter's coming down my wife's had a miscarriage the salary I make like gee I'm like man i'm hurting dude like i i like i can barely like provide food right now like and it's christmas and i'm not i'm not asking car just broke down like i fixed the car drive by 20 he's just stuck dude he has no car situation and i'm sitting listening to him and i said so first i said bro the fact that you had the courage to just ask right number one huge number two the fact that you were willing to reach out to me speaks volumes too i said i'm not giving you a loan i was like what's your venmo i said i'm gonna send you a gift god delivered abundance son of my life let me help you and we sent it and then i sat with my daughters who are connected to him and i didn't specifically talk because i don't want it to be weird for the kids with them but we talked about the principle we drive past this guy on the road too and he's on his wheelchair and I just felt called God told him to pull over.
32:15And I like pulled over and I started talking to him. This dude was like a, has a huge beard, no legs, sitting in his wheelchair. He's got a Bible on his lap and he just starts breathing the power of God through his eyes to me. It was a wildest experience. I said, what can I do to help you? And he's like, nothing. I just want you to be a great man. I'm like, okay. I was like, I received that. What else can I do to support you? He said, I need it. My wheel's broken. I need a new wheelchair. so i called my team and i said hey i'm gonna connect you i said give me your number got his number connected the team and i said hey we're gonna get this dude a new wheelchair yep and my teams were so excited the girls on my team were like freaking out pumped all day so they spent the whole day coordinating finding that finding the hand the wheelchair that he needed taking it in one of the suvs going downtown finding where he was got him the wheelchair so there's just moments i think that we're doing every day there's huge stuff like you're doing which is amazing i I want to do stuff like this is a path I'm on for sure.
33:14But guys, there's like the day to day stuff of just helping people around you that you can do. Even if it's 20 bucks, it's like just being able to help time, energy and money to help other people. All right.
33:26Dan Fleyshman:Where can they find Garrett J. Why to cross social media, man, the arena tour, the warrior was away, all the things. Tell them everything. Uh, wakeup warrior.com. Probably a good place to start. Um, we run events every single month. We run man arena tour every couple of months. We've got a lot going on in social media, Gary J. White, on Instagram, many of the platforms. And those are probably a good place to start. Like, Wake Up Warrior, you just Google it, you'll find it. There's a lot of paths there. You can also pick up a book called Warrior Book, which we have hundreds and hundreds of those go out every single month.
33:56You can get that at warriorbook.com.
33:57Dan Fleyshman:What about Danielle? What's she got going on? Danielle, my wife's in the hair space, and she is, we're currently working a deal. We'll see if it goes through with a very, very large brand in the hair space. and we'll see if we can, we're at like stage three on this one. So we'll see the next testing phase happens. If it works, then it'll be the biggest partnership she's ever had, which will be real exciting. But she does hair extensions, trains hairstylists, has her own hairlines. She's a producing woman. If I dyed her, was a total idiot and fucked up the marriage and she let this woman's fine to take care of herself for life.
34:32But she can find her, she's all over the place with a brand called Natural Beaded Rose and Isla Hair. runs one of the top hair extension lines in the country and one of the top hair product lines so and then she just got into wigs wigs and she's taking a different angle she's taking wigs not just to the african-american community but her partners partners are black and they are deep in the wet in the the wig world and she got fascinated by this so she's actually building a foundation to deliver wigs to white women and black women any woman but those are the partnership of the real angle she's taking she's like i'm gonna make wigs cool for white people she said because she runs with so many i think latino black asian women in the hair world but white women have always been like no and they used to be that way with hair extensions or no this is not a there's not a white girl but she's going specifically after women with alopecia like cancer hair is falling out thin breaking and going to do wigs.
